In our club steel matches, if you use a hi-cap pistol, you are put in the open class competing with shooters that are typically at a higher lever.
In club-rule matches that is fine, but there's no worry of that in a real Steel Challenge match - the divisions are pretty close to USPSA divisions with the addition of a few more for rimfire guns.

A fairly stock hi-cap pistol can be used in the Production division which follows USPSA rules (limit of 10 rounds per mag - though you can use higher cap mags just downloaded).

With a few modifications - or if you want to load your mags up full, you can compete in the Iron Sight division which is more akin to USPSA Limited.

Taken from the SCSA rulebook, the handgun divisions are as follows:


Quote:
A.2 Rimfire Pistol: Open to any pistol firing .22 Long Rifle ammunition
(see “ammunition” rule 4.1.2). This event has two equipment divisions:

A.2.1 Rimfire Open: This is the Rimfire race division. All legal
rimfire firearms are allowed. Optics and Compensators are
specifi cally allowed.

A.2.2 Rimfire Iron Sights: Any Iron-sighted rimfire pistols without a compensator, barrel ports or optic sights. Fiber-optic
sight inserts are specifically allowed.

A.3 Center Fire Pistol: Any pistol firing (9mm/.38 Special) or larger ammunition (see “ammunition” rule 4.1.1). This event has multiple equipment divisions as follows.

A.3.1 Open: This is the race division! All legal firearms are allowed. Optics, Compensators, and any safe holster/position are specifically allowed.

A.3.2 Iron Sight: Any iron sighted pistol without a compensator, barrel ports, or optical sight. Fiber optic inserts are specifically allowed.

A.3.3 Production: Any double action or safe action pistol on the USPSA Production gun list. No Race holsters allowed.

A.3.4 Optic Revolver: Open revolver, with no restrictions for maximum rounds. Optics, Compensators and any safe holster/position allowed.

A.3.5 Iron Sight Revolver: Any iron sighted revolver without a compensator, barrel ports or optical sight. Fiber optic inserts are specifically allowed. No barrel length or holster restrictions. No restrictions for maximum rounds.

A.3.6 COWBOY SINGLE ACTION: Any Single Action revolver that conforms with appropriate SASS rules and regulations. Cowboy Single Action shooters may use two (2) revolvers, with all chambers loaded (6). Upon emptying the first revolver the competitor may draw their second revolver (if necessary) to complete the course of fire. However, the second revolver may not be drawn until the first revolver has been fully re-holstered. On either draw, the hammer may not be cocked until the barrel is pointed down range. Adjustable sights are allowed. Must conform with appropriate SASS holster and holster-position rules. Western attire is encouraged.
